    1Joseph’s Dreams But Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, in the land of Canaan.

    2This is the account of Jacob.Joseph, his seventeen-year-old son, was taking care of the flocks with his brothers. Now he was a youngster working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.

    3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was a son born to him late in life, and he made a special tunic for him.

    4When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.

    5Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.

    6He said to them,“Listen to this dream I had:

    7There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the middle of the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose up and stood upright and your sheaves surrounded my sheaf and bowed down to it!”

    8Then his brothers asked him,“Do you really think you will rule over us or have dominion over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and because of what he said.

    9Then he had another dream, and told it to his brothers.“Look,” he said.“I had another dream. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

    10When he told his father and his brothers, his father rebuked him, saying,“What is this dream that you had? Will I, your mother, and your brothers really come and bow down to you?”

    18Now Joseph’s brothers saw him from a distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.

    19They said to one another,“Here comes this master of dreams!

    20Come now, let’s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild animal ate him. Then we’ll see how his dreams turn out!”
